Patent GB-190710435-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Machine for Automatically Making Chains from Wire.
Inventor: BRUCKMANN LUDWIG
Filed: 1907-05-04
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 10,435. Bruckmann, L. May 4. Making chains.-Chains are made from wire by coiling helically upon a mandrel of the shape of the link required, the foremost ring being pushed forward and cut off and then held in tongs and engaged in the link previously made. The link is closed in dies, and alternate links are turned through an angle of 180 degrees to bring the joints together, .the two links being then soldered together at the joints. Figs. 10<a>, b, c, d, e show diagrammatically the steps involved in cutting off a link, engaging with the link previously made, and closing ; Figs. 10, k, l show the manner in which alternate links are turned through 180 degrees. The wire is wound from a reel 4 on to a mandrel 6 mounted in a spindle 7, which is intermittently rotated by ratchet and toothed gearing from a rod 13 driven by a crank 12 on the main shaft 2 of the machine. Guiding arms 20 with notches 21 engage the coils which are moved forward until one of them projects over the end of the mandrel. An eccentric 27 on the cam shaft 28 then moves the mandrel forward, and a projection 35 on the cam-operated cutter slide 26 bends the mandrel slightly and forces the projecting coil into the jaws 33, 34 of the conveying pincers 43, 44, the cutter 22 then cutting off such projecting coil. The conveying pincers 33, 34, which are operated by cams 37, 47, then move laterally, and other pincers 62 move forward and engage the foremost link of the chain b, which they carry, with the severed coil c and release the chain so that it is suspended from the coil in the conveying pincers. The lateral movement of the conveying pincers then continues, and the coil is closed by dies 49, 50, Fig. 3. These are carried on a cam-operated vertical carriage, the die 50 moving in the carriage to give the closing action, which is obtained from a cam 58 on the main shaft 3. The conveying pincers then return, and the chain is again grasped by the pincers 62, which then move backwards. These pincers are carried in a pivoted arm 64 operated by a cam 1, and are operated periodically by a lever 67 operated by a cam 70. To turn the pincers 62 periodically, a cam 75 operates a lever 76 provided with a pawl 78 ; the pawl operates pins 84 on a toothed wheel 82 driving a wheel 81 on the socket in which the pincers are mounted. The pawl turns the wheel 82 through 90 degrees and thus the wheel 81 through 180 degrees, but, as the wheel 82 has no teeth on each alternate quadrant, the wheel 82, and thus the pincers 62, are rotated only at each alternate revolution of the main shaft of the machine. The chain then passes to a suitable soldering-machine.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Brakes for Animal-drawn Vehicles.
Inventor: NORDSTROEM JOENS MAERTENSSON
Filed: 1907-05-22
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 11,907. Nordstr÷m, J. M. May 22. Brakes.-Road-vehicle brakes are applied automatically when the horses cease pulling, and are automatically locked on ; they can be held out of action when the vehicle is to be backed. When the spring-pressed draught pole 1 is moved backwards, a tooth 2 thereon engages a toothed wheel 3 and rotates, through spur-wheels 4, 5, a toothed segment 6 pivoted at 8. A spring-controlled arm 9 is thus rocked and applies the brakes through an adjustable pull-rod 11. The brakes are locked on by a spring pawl 20 engaging a rack on the rod 11 ; this pawl is released when the horses pull on a spring-bow connected to the pawl by a guided rope. When the vehicle is to be backed, a transverselysliding stop is moved into the path of a projection on the draught-pole by a guided rope connected to a lever under the control of the driver.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automatic Water Elevators.
Inventor: HODDER ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1907-06-11
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 13,531. Hodder, A. E. June 11. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-Relates to automatic water elevators of the type wherein water is passed through an aerator to a closed low-level tank from which the air thereby compressed is led to a second closed tank provided with inlet and outlet pipes and valves for the water to be raised, and consists in adapting such apparatus so that it can work continuously with a comparatively small hydraulic head. For this purpose, the water from the air-compressing tank L, Fig. 1, is discharged through an uptake pipe M at a level slightly below that of the supply tank A. The air that is carried down from the aerator D, which may be constructed in the manner described in Specification No. 1473, A.D. 1907, to the chamber L thus becomes compressed to an extent depending upon the height of the uptake pipe M, while the actual fall in level of the water utilized for the purpose is comparatively small. The compressed air is conducted from the chamber L to the forcing-chamber B, which may be of known construction. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the inlet and outlet valves P, O<1 >for the compressed air are mounted on a rocking arm, actuated in one direction by the rise of a float Q when the chamber is full, and in the opposite direction by the fall of the float when released by the catch R operated by a float R<1> when the chamber empties.

Title: Improvements in Carburetting Apparatus.
Inventor: KING JOHN
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-10-30
Abstract: 17,414. King, J., and Workman, H. July 30. Carburetting.-In carburetting-apparatus wherein comparatively rich carburetted air is mixed with a further supply of air, a single valve, operated by the gas-holder or governor, is provided so that the proportions can be adjusted by hand and thereafter remain practically constant, the valve also regulating the supply of gas to suit the demand. In the form shown in Fig. 4, a barrel valve C is mounted within a sleeve D and is rotatable by a gas-holder connexion at e and movable longitudinally by means of a hand-wheel or nut F. Air is admitted at a and passes by ports c<1>, c<2> to the carburettor and mixer respectively. The longitudinal adjustment of the sleeve c regulates the proportion of the two streams of air, while the rotary motion regulates both supplies of air according to the position of the gas-holder. When the valve is arranged as a piston valve, the longitudinal motion is given by the gas-holder and the rotation by hand. The hand regulation may be dispensed with if the varying conditions are sufficiently constant or unimportant.
